Introducing the next chapter of South Beach Cabins at Cragun's Resort — a newly built lakeside enclave perfectly positioned along the resort's coveted South shoreline on Gull Lake. The first phase of these brand-new cabins is currently underway on the main resort property, with the next phase planned to follow — extending a new level of lakeside elegance that pairs high-end finishes with warm Northwoods character and immediate access to sand, water, and premier resort amenities. Built by W. Gohman Construction in collaboration with TWM Architecture, The Hearth Room, and Evolution Resort Real Estate, the South Beach Cabins blend modern craftsmanship with the nearly 100-year South Beach legacy. This 5-bedroom, 5-bath walkout lock-off cabin is built for restoration and reunion in equal measure. The upper level is anchored by a private spa suite featuring an infrared sauna and soaking tub, designed as a true retreat within the cabin. A fireplace warms each level, and the lower walkout opens to Lake Irma with a 10-foot ceiling that gives the gathering space an unexpected sense of openness and light. The lock-off layout configures as a single 5-bedroom home or as three separate suites — a 1-bedroom and two 2-bedrooms — adapting easily to multi-generational stays or to a flexible ownership rhythm, where owners can occupy one portion of the cabin while the remaining levels participates in the rental program. Ownership is whole ownership, fee title — not a timeshare, not fractional. Owners receive a turnkey experience through Cragun's Resort's professional rental management program, with Rental Income Potential through a 50/50 split. Optional Golf Memberships and Boat Club access extend the season on both lake and links. Owners and their guests enjoy resort amenities along with discounts on lodging, merchandise, marina rentals, and more, plus a lifetime Resort Club Membership when enrolled in the rental program. Owner usage: up to 42 days May through October, and up to 100 days November through April. As a Cragun's Resort home owner you are not purchasing an investment, but rather a vacation home that has a rental program available for you to take advantage of to decrease your total cost of ownership. We are prevented by law from making projections for yearly income from the rental home. We advise you consult with your financial advisor or tax professional. Showings: Listing agent must be present for all showings. No showings permitted while guests are in residence. Photos are example of builder and decor finishes.
